City Planning Improvements Seek Near Million Dollar Increase
City Engineer AL He Dimock told the budget committee that the 1920 plan calls for an appropriation of 1,500,172 for the engineers department up from 495,452 last year and 1919. He cited new improvement districts and a power plant project as key costs. The council debated use of last year’s leftover funds and approved street railway expenses totaling 3,066,666 with a 1,000,000 line for general improvements. Library budgets and park board totals were considered, while tax levies are projected near 65 mills for 1920, risking over the 30 mill city cap due to salary increases.
